Are they or aren't they Rumours have been rife that Mr Evans and Ms Banks are item after being seen out together at numerous dinners

America's Next Top Model judge Rob Evans has a warrant out for his arrest by the Beverly Hills Police Department after he landed someone in hospital with severe injuries earlier this year.

The British male model, former boxer, and also Tyra Banks’ rumoured 'significant other', joined the cast of the hit reality show this year, and is being sought on charges for battery with serious injury and assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury.

According to ABC News, Lieutenant Lincoln Hoshino said a warrant for Mr Evans has been issued in connection with the assault that took place at Next Modeling agency offices in Beverly Hills on March 14.

Mr Evans reportedly cooperated with the police until recently, when he became unreachable. Now, the Beverly Hills Police Department of California are seeking his immediate arrest.

Lt. Hoshino said the department has reason to believe that Mr Evans, who replaced photographer and judge Nigel Barker on America’s Next Top Model, is currently in Manhattan, with New York authorities notified of the arrest warrant.

The Lieutenant added that the warrant's bail is set at $150,000.

Although rumours have been rife that he and Ms Banks are item, Mr Evans told the Banbury Guardian that they were never 'officially dating,' despite being seen out together at numerous dinners.

Ms Banks, America's Next Top Model creator and host, recently took to Twitter to announce that next season the show is to get an injection of testosterone, as male contestants will be accepted for the first time.

She wrote: 'ANTM 20. Bring on the boys!'

Both male and female models will live in the same house, and all will battle it out to be crowned winner.
